Male Liposuction Too! At VIBE Plastic Surgery

* Basic Information

# Male in his 30s

# Persistent double chin fat despite consistent dieting

* Consultation

# By using ultrasound, subcutaneous fat can be broken down into fine particles. (Think of it as turning orange pulp into liquid orange juice.) This allows the fat to be squeezed out through tiny openings, and since it can be removed using only a small cannula, the extraction is highly effective.

* Plan

# Ultrasonic Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)

* Post-operative Progress

# Generally, procedures for male patients are more challenging. Because the skin and muscles are thicker, the amount of fat that can be extracted is often smaller than expected, while bleeding tends to be higher.

# Through jawline and double chin liposuction, the heavy, blunt appearance has disappeared!

The Principle of LipoSound

# ‘LipoSound’ can be understood as equipment that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. Because it liquefies fat particles—like turning orange pulp into juice—it offers several benefits:

1. It is much smoother – fat can be squeezed out like water without applying significant force, and it can be suctioned using only a small cannula. Consequently, there is much less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. This also results in significantly less ‘Bio-bond’ (post-operative adhesions).
2. Since ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, there is less skin sagging after the procedure, and additional skin elasticity and tightening effects can be achieved.

# About two weeks after surgery, Bio-bond may form, which can feel uncomfortable. During this time, applying warm compresses and stretching will help it resolve faster. Please note that we also provide injections to help dissolve these bonds during the one-month follow-up!

Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is LipoSound liposuction?

LipoSound is a device that uses ultrasound to liquefy fat. It helps to gently transform fat particles, which are like orange granules, into a juice-like consistency, making them easy to aspirate even with a small cannula. This offers the advantage of less irritation during the procedure and faster recovery.

Is male liposuction different from female liposuction?

Yes, generally, male liposuction can be more difficult than female liposuction. Men have thicker skin and muscles, which means the amount of fat that can be extracted is less, and there can be more bleeding, requiring caution.

Does LipoSound treatment cause skin sagging?

No, LipoSound emits ultrasound waves from beneath the dermis, resulting in less skin sagging after the procedure. On the contrary, you can additionally achieve skin elasticity and tightening effects, which helps improve the jawline.

How should I manage bio-bonds after surgery?

Bio-bonds may form and cause discomfort about two weeks after surgery. At this time, warm compresses and stretching can help them resolve faster, and we may administer an injection to help them release during your one-month follow-up.

How long is the recovery period for LipoSound liposuction?

LipoSound gently liquefies fat, allowing it to be aspirated with a small cannula, which results in less irritation compared to conventional liposuction. Therefore, recovery from bruising and swelling is faster, and the occurrence of bio-bonds is also reduced, which can shorten the overall recovery period.
